So I have CM7 nightly v98 working mint on my nook. Netflix is working etc, and even my battery life is good too, and I'm not getting the SOD anymore (i think).
So right now I have no reason to update anything but I'm sure inevitably SOMETHING is gonna come up that I'm gonna want to update to a new nightly (or like a new stable will come out, or something). So my question is if I download a new nightly and flash it through CWM, can I flash just the file, and not wipe everything etc and will my settings, apps, etc all still be there? Or do I have to wipe everything out to upgrade each nightly? I figure I'd probably have to modify build.prop for Netflix each time which is no big deal, and also reflash the overclock Kernel as well, but otherwise??

U can do it from within Rom manager. Gives u the option of what to del. Back up current ROM, and make sure wipe data isn't set. You'll then need to reflash the OC kernel and edit the build.prop again.
My question:
1. Does ROM manager backup ROM capture everything or just /system? I've been doing backups from CWM.
2. Been using Kernel manager, but haven't seen notification of new OC Kernel when new one just came out. Does this work?

So doing this everything will be "identical" just on the newest ROM I got? I tried to do this once with ROM manager and screwed it up because I didn't put the ROM on my SD card so it wouldn't read it. Then I didn't bother as everything suddenly worked right (no complaints lol).

Hi all, I'm going to not try and sound too noobish, but after reading for hours I still have a couple questions. I have a Moto Droid with 2.2 Froyo that I just rooted. I use Rom Manager last night to put on Cyanogen but when it booted I had lost all apps, contacts, market so I reverted back to stock. I just got titanium backup pro which I read should load all my apps/contacts etc once I load Cyanogen? I just want to make sure I'm running the programs in the correct order.
One other issue I have is that I am currently using Setcpu to overclock to the max it's allowing which is 800 megahertz. Do I need to uninstall this before I load Cyanogen? Because I know that it is going to max me out at 600 unless I load another Kernal to go higher which I would like to do, which is another thing I was looking for instructions to do but having difficulty at least for my model.
I've found some P3 kernals, I'm not sure if theyre compatible with Cyanogen or how I would know which one to get though.
Any help is appreciated, I'm new to the rom stuff but learn fast.
oh man, I was hoping someone would know
anyone? please?
Allright well I've figured out which P3 kernel I am going to use. My latest issue is when I install Cyanogen, all my apps except for Rom Manager and Terminal Emulator are gone. Now I backed up everything with Titanium, but that is gone as well. It seems like a catch 22 to try and restore your apps and the restoring app itself is gone. Any ideas?
Go download titanium from the marketplace and reinstall. Your apps will then be able to be restored. I run cm 6.1 RC4 and use the P3droid 250/1100 MHz kernel. You'll also want to install setCPU from the marketplace to set the cpu speed profiles. Good luck! You'll really dig it once you have everything dialed in.

Hey Maxnicks, maybe you know the answer to this one as well:
I've only been using CM since 6.0 and I want to finally update it to 6.1 but just a few questions. As far as updating goes, do you have to wipe your data in Rom Manager like you would do going from stock to CM? 2nd, when you update, do you lose all your apps like you do going from stock to a new rom? I used titanium backup before to restore after 6.0, but this time I'm going to update the rom through Rom Manager so it's a little different. Last,I have the P3 Kernal overclocked, will this stay at my current settings or do I need to reinstall it after 6.1 is on there. Sorry for the questions but I tried googling and not much exists comparing CM update vs installing it over stock.
First make a back up of current rom in rom manager in case want/have to flash back. When updating same rom, might be able to get away without wiping, try without if any trouble with 6.1 flash back to previous then try a wipe. On kernel you will have to go into recovery to flash back to the p3 as all roms come with one, usually top out at 600/800 or so. Once flash new rom with gapps all apps should download thru market. I currently am running 6.1 with p3 125-1100 kernel with no problems other than usual launcher re-draw. Good luck

First off, much thanks to everyone involved with CM7. The Nook Color is a fantastic Android tablet thanks to your work, I sincerely appreciate it.
I have successfully installed a CM7 nightly build, but I am interested in trying out the recent one which fixes video playback issues. Can I just download the updated ZIP file and install it using Clockwork Recovery on my recovery SD card? Is there another, perhaps better way? Will I lose anything (apps, settings, etc?)
Thanks in advance
Nick
I just did this myself.
What I did:
Open Rom Manager and manually do a backup of your current rom. Its easier to name it something YOU understand that way.
The NC will reboot and do the back then go back to the current rom.
Then download the video test and flash it using Rom Manager- Flash ROM from SD card. I wiped data and cache but did NOT backup current rom, since I had already done so manually. (I am not sure if that is required but I thought it better to test the video clean.)
Once I tested the video (which was perfect) I restored my backup and had my fully configured CM7 with Tablet Tweaks and OC kernel running.

Did you just flash the CM7 tablet tweaks through Rom Manager? You flash the tweaks over an already installed version of Cyan7 correct?
You know, I hadn't been thinking about it until I saw your question but I have been doing extra work- the Tablet Tweaks is the full rom not just an update to a rom....
So the way to get them installed is to find the latest version and flash it through Rom Manager (a "yes" to your question) and then flash the OC kernel through Rom Manager. That one IS an update instead of a full rom so can be flashed over the existing rom.
If I screwed up this post its because I just woke up from a nap.

Let me try to make this stuff clear for any who follow:
*Best to get the regular CM7 nightly installed and working correctly first, I think- less chance of bugs.
*video test and Tablet Tweaks versions are both FULL ROMS and will replace the current rom you are running. Data wipe should not be required for either, but if you have problems try wiping data and do it again.
*the Overclock kernel can be flashed OVER the current rom and will not replace it, just add to it.
If I screwed up this post its because I just woke up from a nap.
will i lose all settings, files, apps?
is there a way to keep everything and change rom?
I would say it is good practice to do full wipe when switching to different ROM generation.
Once you are on CM7 upgrading to never version is OK with just caches cleanup.
In your case I would use TitaniumBackup or any similar app to backup all the apps. In theory you could try to restore the app data but may not work properly. Use as much as possible backup/recovery build in the apps.
BTW consider app2ext - I do not known if such a feature is available in FM - search the forum how to create separated partition on your SD card
well i gave it a try.
updated OR, did all 3 wipes, installed the latest CM7 and rebooted.
i just got the M sign no matter what i did.
had to nandroid back to my latest backup.
never had that in any froyo mod.
is it hopeless?
should i try again?
When you wipe, go into the partitions menu and format boot and system too.

how exactly?
didn't find it in the OR menus.
Don't do that!
There's no data of /boot in CM7 packages!
Switching from Stock 2.2.1 to CM7 worked flawlessly for me back then.
Try downloading the CM7 .zip again, apply it and do all 3 wipes afterwards.
tried again, like you said.
didnt work. back to froyo.
bummer.
ok, tried the HO NO mod of this rom and its working!
looking great. thanks for your help.
this HO NO is a version of the original CM7. meaning if there are future updates to the original CM7 i will be able to update, correct?
i wont have to necessarily wait for a "HO NO" version?
It's not that easy.
HO!NO! is a CM7 mod - that's right.
But if you mix updates from both HO!NO! and CM7 you will very likely end up with the M-screen or bootloops again.
Usually it's like this:
Update the ROM you're on: flash zip, wipe caches
Change to a different ROM: flash zip, wipe everything
I was wondering how perfect of a restore a CWM restore is.
I was running a custom GB ROM (rocket rom to be exact) and it was running flawlessly. I then decided I might try this new CM9 ICS ROM.
So to be sure about the CM9 install, I figure I'd install from a stock GB Rom. So I first did a CWM backup of my current rocket rom and then I restored an older stock (rooted) ROM. It seemed to work fine. Then.... after reading about the (few) issues wit this new CM9 rom I decided I'd wait a bit longer until a few more of the quirks are worked out.
So I then restored back my Rocket rom backup and even doing the flash cache and davik cache also. But now I notice my once working Rocket ROM is experiencing a lot of SODs.
So now I'm wondering how perfect my restore was. I really don't have a lot of apps or wireless networks and can easily restore my contact list. For that reason, do you think it'll help if I do a factory reset wipe and then reinstall everytyhing....or even go so far as reinstall rocket rom and then reinstall everything else manually without any restores...would that be really the best clean install....or would any of this not make a difference at all and wiping/reinstall a toatl waste of time and my prob is actuaully something else....
Thanks
I could do with knowing the answer to these questions too.
It would be good to get a detailed idiots guide to CWM, do's and don't's etc.
Well a clean install will surely get you rid of the SODs. There is some app and its data that is conflicting with the system and crashes the whole phone. So if you are ready to clean install everything that will fix everything

sleep of death, its the device not waking up properly from sleep
Pus it doesnt include efs, so its not complete backup. Handy if yu stay n same rom version, but thats likely not.
Squicky clean install is always best. Even only app and data recovering thought titanium can mess things up. Make it laggy and nonfunctional etc, Blegh

1. Install abyssnote42
2. Factory wipe, cache, dalvik
3. Restore your rocketrom backup
That's what i do with my rocketrom v23 backup
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums
its not perfect but its the best so far
all i can say is that cwm is the best and simple thing for me so far and if u get trouble some times while trying to shift from CM9 to normal ics or from gb to ics all I suggest is use redpill recovery from abbysnote

Yeah, mine does that from the clock on Dragon ICS 2.4 when charging it didn't use to, started since I started Dual Booting. 2.5 is out in the next hour or so according to the Dev page. Hope it fixes an otherwise awesome ROM.. Otherwise it's back to single booting and possibly on to Omega 12 until CheckROM is released..
Hey guys,
I'm currently running CyanogenMod 10.1 from last week, very impressed with it!
I see there is a new version which fixes Deep Sleep.
Could someone please be kind enough to confirm the update procedure?
Flash the latest [LATEST][07/26] BETA CM10.1 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL while in TWRP, then flash the CAM-FIX2.ZIP. (no need to restart between both?).
Also, do I need to clear any wipe anything?
Will I loose any aps? or data?
Thanks so much for your time.
All I would suggest doing is wiping system, cache, and dalvik, then flashing it. I heard that the cam fix is the entire ROM, so u may not need to flash previous deep sleep fixed version first, you should know right away though because the zip file would be at least a few hundred mb if its the full ROM. Also I believe you will also need to flash the gapps again, you won't lose any of your stuff but u may have to sign back into the Google store again. If anybody sees this and wants to add on to what I said or correct me please feel free to. I haven't updated mine yet because I don't use base cm that hashcode releases, I use jesters, and as such I haven't ever updated my cm os before, but I am versed in the procedure. Anyways good luck!

Considering the deep sleep fix is kernel related, you can probably get by with just flashing it over your existing ROM.
